I DO NOT OWN PJO OR HOO
Annabeth's POV:
So my life basically went down hill this morning. To introduce my self, I'm Annabeth Chase, I'm princess of Athens. I have 6 sisters and 1 cousin who is basically a sister. Juniper's parents died when she was 2 and my parents took her in. Well it was a normal day and we were all happy since the twins, Piper and Reyna, turned 18 yesterday and we were supposed to have a big party. The plans for that all went down the drain during breakfast.
"Girls we have some news for you..." Dad says standing up and leaves the sentence hanging. I look over to my mom and she let a tear roll down her cheek. That's about the time I began freaking out on the inside. Mom never cries, and when she does it's not pretty.
"What is it dad?" Clarisse, one of my sisters, asked through a mouth full of toast. Dad wouldn't answer after a long time until mom sucked up the tears and began sobbing.
"You're...you're...getting married girls.!" She begins crying harder and dad comforts her. As for us well... the most dramatic ones in the family, Selena and Reyna, fainted, Clarisse, Thalia, and Piper spat their drinks out all over Katie and Juniper who were hyperventilating and choking, as for me I was screaming my head off in my mind. Thalia coughed and stood up knocking some glasses of juice in the process.
"We're what?" She yelled/squeaked.
"Girls, years back your great-grandfather made a deal with his brother-in-law that his great-granddaughters will marry the other's great-grandsons. Well you all turned of age so now it's time. If you girls don't marry we will loose the kingdom and the others also. I'm deeply sorry. We meant to tell you but we wanted to wait until you all were old enough" We all stared at him in shock. Reyna and Selena had woken up but at the mentioning of losing the kingdom they fainted again.
"You're joking right? Just pulling our leg, right dad?" Piper asked, hope in her eyes and voice. Dad didn't answer. She turned to mom who was still crying. "Mom?" Mom just shakes her head and everything goes silent.
"Who are we marrying?" A whisper breaks the silence, no one answered. "Who are we marrying, dad?" Juniper asked in a louder voice.
"The 8 princes of ...please pack your things and go buy a gown. We leave for Oceania in 2 days. Girls you don't know how deeply sorry I feel, you know I would never force a man on you." We all groaned in unison, even the drama queens who had just woken up yet again. We nod acknowledging what dad just told us.
"Of course they are 8," Thalia murmurs. " I don't feel so well, I'm gonna go for a stroll, peace." She leaves and the servants come and begin cleaning the mess. After that we all went our separate ways. I headed for the library, I always go there when I need to think. I grabbed a random book off the shelve and began reading. After a while though I couldn't concentrate so I screamed and threw the book out the window. This is so messed up! I began to pace. Life sucks bad, why would grandpa do this? It's the 21st century for crying out loud! I pinch the bridge of my nose and try to relax and clear my head. Crap! I'm getting married!
Selena's POV:
I ran in the hallways until I made my way to the west wing. I passed a few rooms and then I went into my favorite, little, cozy living room. I sank in a couch and cried. I sobbed for who knows how long. I began remembering when I was little, I always dreamed the day I would get married. I dreamed that the boy loved will ask me and we will have an amazing wedding and we will live happily ever after. And now I'm freakin' stuck with a prince charming I don't know and a marriage I will probably not get to plan. I look up and sigh to the sky. Why grandpa? I thought you loved us? I closed my eyes and cried a little more. I stood up after a while, I wiped my eyes, fixed my make up and went outside. Fine! If I'm getting married I'm doing it my style. The stupid prince will never know what hit him. I grin my devil smile and text my sisters to meet me outside. It's on!
Thalia's POV:
I made my way to the stables. I got on Skull, my black horse, and rode off. I was so mad I didn't see where I was heading and before I knew it I was on the edge of the Festus River. I got off Skull and sat near the water's edge. I let my feet in but not all the way, I didn't want to drown since I didn't know how to swim. I began cursing fluently in all the languages Chiron, our tutor, has persuaded us to learn. And persuaded as in made us. I cannot believe I'm getting freakin' married! I mean wasn't I the one that said I was never going to marry! Wasn't I the one that was going to stay a virgin for the rest of her life? I laughed darkly, well there goes my virginity! This is so freakin'messed up! My phone vibrates and I see I have a new text. 'girls meet me outside garage as soon as possible going shopping required to go yes that means you 2 annabeth! hurry i think its gonna rain! ;)' I groan and get up. Might as well get this over with. If I don't show up Selena will kill me. I get on Skull and head back toward the castle halfway there a few drops of rain begin to fall. I sigh in content, I love the rain today, it suits my mood.
Katie's POV:
I ran to my garden and green house. I cried my heart out as I watered my plants. After a while I look at my watch, dangit! He's late once again. When I get my hands on Luke he will die! Not only did I needed his comfort right now but it was our 1 year anniversary and it was supposed to be special. I went to the garage and got on my yellow Porsche. I debated on how to tell him the news that I was getting freaking married all the way to his apartment in town. I arrive and go up. He lives in the top most floor and the elevator was broken so I was exhausted by the time I was knocking from his door. He opened the door and my heart skipped a beat like it does every time I see him. His eyes go wide when he sees me, apparently he had just gotten out of bed. His hair was messed up and he was wearing only boxers.
"Hey baby." I greet him, giving him a kiss and trying to step inside. He blocks my path. I look up at him and see he begins to get red like he always does when he's nervous. "What is it?"
"Um...what... what are you doing here Katie?" He got all tounge tied and even more red.
"Well it our anniversary and you never went to the castle like you promised me you were going to and... I need to tell you some-" I was cut by the voice of someone else.
"Hey, Lukey, we're out of eggs," He turns around and I get glimps of this blond girl in his shirt only. He curses in a whisper and I feel tears in my eyes. He turns back to me and I slap him hard before he can do anything else.
"You… You…" I then proceeded to calling him every bad name in every language in which he responded by giving me a confuse look.
"Katie...it's not what it looks like...I..." he stopped there and I just slapped him once more and left. In the car I let the angry tears fall out. I got to the castle and saw all the girls in the garage. I wiped my eyes and got out. I hope they don't notice my puffy eyes. Of course they will. I sigh and approach them careful to keep my voice leveled and my face down.
Clarisse's POV:
I got the text from Selena and dragged myself out of my room after having a punching session with the wall. This was so flippin' messed up! I got there and saw I was the last one to arrive. Well this will be fun. I grumbled just as thunder appeared in the sky. "So who's missing?" I asked the group.
"Now we are just waiting for Katie and...oh here she comes." Selena says looking past me. I turned to see my older sister by a year coming our way with her shoulders down, her green bag sagging behind her. She gets to us and says hi weakly.
"Oh my gods Katie! Are you okay, you've been crying." Reyna overly exaggerates. Katie looked up and revealed red puffy eyes.
"Lu...Luke..." She begins to cry. Juni goes to her and hugs her while she cries into her shoulder. The rest of us growl in unison. What has that idiot done this time. "He cheated on me!" She yells at last. We all crowd her and give her hugs. That guy is so dead.
"I say we go there and beat him up then castrate him. Who's with me?" I ask after we all got settled down a bit. Annabeth and Thalia raised their hands.
"Thanks Clarisse but I don't want to see the turd ever again." She say in a barely audible whisper. "Lets just go shopping." We all nod and get in the cars. We took my red Ferrari F430, Selena's pink Fiat 500, Piper's grey Jaguar XJ220 Concept. We all rode in silence. In my car it was just me and Annabeth.
"I don't care if you're with me but I'm going to give that stupid turd a piece of my mind tonight." She turns to look at me with her intense grey eyes which she was the only one that inherit from mom.
"First time we agree, Annie. I'm so castrating that idiot." I say and try to keep my eyes on the road. We arrived at the mall and before me and Annabeth got out we prepared ourselves for a shopping session with Selena and Reyna. "You ready?" She just shakes her head and we run to the doors to avoid getting too wet.
Piper's POV:
That idiot son of a witch is going to get it! He is so going to die! I look at Thalia beside me and I see her glare at the window. I smirk and think her mind might be on the same lines as mine. "He's dead, right?" She turns to look at me and I see angry tears in her eyes.
"Heck yeah he is. I'm going to have a conversation with him tonight, you in?" I laugh.
"Of course. No one messes with one of the Chase girls and gets away clean. Now we just need to know if Clarisse, Juni, and Annabeth are game?" I say as I pull up on the mall's parking lot.
"I'm pretty sure they will." We ran to the doors. "So what do you think of all this mess?" She asks, I grin.
"Well thanks for reminding me I had forgotten it." She looks at me apologetically. I sigh. "Well after practically throwing all the lamps in my room to the walls I calmed down and did some yoga. After that I began to get weird ideas of running away but thought better of it." Thalia chuckled.
"My mind was along those same lines. But you know I'm planning on whoever I 'm marrying to make his life miserable." I smiled. Not a bad idea, I might just do something like that. Everyone arrived and we got ready for the torture.
Reyna's POV:
"So to what store first?" I asked Selena. The rest groaned in unison at the fact that we will be shopping. I swear I sometimes wonder how we are related. But then I see that Selena and Thalia have the same eyes, Annabeth and Piper about the same brains,
Piper and I are twins so we look alike except for the hair, Juni and Selena have the same color hair, and Katie and I have the same color in hair also. We followed Selena to a store with dresses, all left in little groups to look at them and I was on my own. I picked my way through this and that always thinking that I'm not going to be able to have fun like I planned to now that I was getting married. Oh well, I guess I'm going to have to get used to it. I grabbed a light pink dress and tried it on. I wasn't really registering what I was wearing but my sisters liked it so I bought it. We all got dresses also at that store so we went home a little earlier than I expected. Once in my room I began packing. I was getting a massive headache so I went to get some aspirin. I go to bed mad for no reason and I'm cursing as I put my pajamas on. The princes better be cute, was my last thought before I fell asleep.
